I am passionate about student engagement, it matters! Google Forms, Jamboard, and Google Classroom are not by themselves engaging. You must be intentional in how you use them to really engage students. I have teamed up with OTIS to bring you 3 webinars on using Google Tools for Student Engagement. If you missed the live presentation please check out the recordings!

I was able to register for the first one but not the second; Jamboard one said I needed more than a free account.
